The story of Rani Karnavati of Chittor and Mughal Emperor Humayun is the most significant evidence of this in history. During the medieval era, around the 15th century, there were many wars between the Rajputs, Mughals and Sultans. Rakhi at that time meant a spiritual binding and the protection of sisters was foremost.

The Emperor was so touched by the gesture, that he abandoned an ongoing military campaign to ride to her rescue.Send Free SMS
